let's streamline the process and help our economy grow. these initiatives in manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, housing all these things will help entrepreneurs and small business owners expand and create new jobs. but none of it will matter unless we also equip our citizens with the skills and training to fill those jobs. (applause) and that has to start at the earliest possible age. you know, study after study shows that the sooner a child begins learning the better he or she does down the road. but today, fewer than 3-in-10 four-year-olds are enrolled in a quality program. most middle-class parents can afford a few hundred bucks a week for private preschool. and for poor kids who need help the most this lack of access to preschool education can shadow them for the rest of their lives. so tonight i propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every single child in america. (cheers and applause) that's something we should be able to do. every dollar we invest in high quality early childhood education could s

one that hit me was that he said that the economy, an economy that creates job, good, middle class jobs must be the north star for our efforts, for everything we do. and that will be the message here. this is a divided chamber. john boehner, right over his shoulder, just this morning, told reporters that he doesn't think the president has the guts to make the tough decisions to deal with the deficit. that was an exact quote. "i don't think he has the guts to do it." so, a divided chamber to be sure. >> that's right, jon. he said he didn't think the president had the courage to take on his own team. those were fighting words that he said to many of us this morning. but i want to going ba and show everyone mrs. obama coming into the room. and we saw her going down to resounding applause. and i want to point out, you're looking next to her will be kaitlin roig, who is the first grade teacher at newtown who told me about taking her 15 first graders into the bathroom, shielding them from the gunman, saying, "the good guys are on their way." >> and the president knows he has a job to do on en
